Hitomezashi is a Japanese hand stitching technique that is great for the surface of quilt blocks, visible mending, or decorating clothing. In this class, you will make a finished quilt block and learn how to create your own patterns on the surface with simple Hitomezashi Sashiko stitching. You will receive enough materials to make several more blocks that can be joined to create a wall hanging, cushion cover, or the beginnings of a full-size quilt!
My classes are designed to introduce you to a new skill that can be integrated into your life as a source of creativity, relaxation, and wellbeing. They are about the pleasure of the process, not the constraints of perfection, and at the end of the class, you will have a small quilt block that you can be proud of and the skills to make many more.

Art should be for everyone. I've experienced the benefits to health that engaging in art can bring and I want to share this with others. I am offering classes at an affordable price in order to be as inclusive as possible. My hope is that these classes introduce people to a happy place where they can go, both in times of stress, and for fun and relaxation everyday.
I am predominantly a textile artist, although I've dabbled in most mediums. I completed a Fine Arts degree with Honours in 2021 but am grateful for my TasTafe Visual Arts Certificate IV which was my gateway into art in 2013. More recently I have been teaching beginner quilt classes, sock knitting and crochet classes at Community Centres in Hobart. I love seeing my participants complete their quilts, and the pleasure and pride that the process and end result can bring.
